Externalization is a more advanced alternative to serialization.Basically, externalization gives you more control over serializating stream than default serialization (as by implementing Serializable interface), and is mostly used when you need to add data to the serialization stream that are not the serialized object data members (from external source).Every class that usese/implements externalization must implement Externalizable interface and override methods : -writeExternal-readExternal-and must have a constructor that takes no arguments.
